Hi,
I created a patch for the genre plugin to make use of the category AND
the genre info that is in the epgdata.com data.
The plugin checks if there is category data (maybe this can be done in a
more clever way?) and creates a menu from this.
Categories would be something like: movie, series, sport, children etc.
Every category has then a submenu for the different genre that where
found for this category.
That would be e.g action, love, mystery, comedy etc. for the movie category.
If the data contains just genre data like the xmltv data, then there
should be no changes with this patch.
Another solution would be to create a additional genre2 plugin, so that
the user can choose which one he/she would like to use.
Regards
Tanja
PS: Of course, kaa.epg must also be patched, to fill the category data
to the database.
